NCangler · #1 (**permalink**) 02-16-2007, 12:19 PM

Hi folks. As many of you know I am a Film/Video Producer by profession and have recently started my own production company again. I'm planning to produce a video this spring in cooperation with Merritt Marine on general maintenance and procedures for owners of Triumph Boats. Here are some of the items we thought we would try to cover:

How to apply stickers to Roplene
How to repair scratches or gouges by welding Roplene
Buffing Roplene to shine (if you want to)
How to replace screws with Roplene powder
How to use Rule Elastomeric for sealing
Where to install a transducer
Lacing a t-top
What to look for in trailer maintenance
Prop removal and checking for debris
Consider installing an on-board battery charger system
Techniques for mounting down riggers
Cleaning the bilge pump
Installing Transom drains
Lower unit maintenance
Winterizing your Triumph
And more...

What a great idea!!! When can I buy one, before spring???

I'm a visual learner and that would help with alot of questions down the road. How about instaling a second battery on a 170cc and a bow mount trolling motor? Also how about instaling a water/fuel filter? Wow can't wait. Thanks, Bob
P.S I'll go buy a couple of t shirts to help fund it!!

For those of us that are new to boating and new to a Triumph something like this would be great!

Where do I send my money - I will pre-order!

If it helps I will pre-order also.

I,m interested i would love to see the more difficult items like transom drains for the 210 and how to install trim tabs. im a do it yourself guy i can always figure it out but having a video (for the look out for this stuff) would be great.

Suzuki did this a few years ago on their website. Short videos on oil change and impellar replacement, etc. The fellow from ShipShape TV has some non video instructional items on DIY.com. I think new owners really should have this DVD and maybe Triumph would include one with boat purchase.
Good Luck NC, Emery

I would certainly buy the DVD. I've made several mods on my 210 from the info and photos from this website. A DVD would be great. As for ideas, how about directions on winterizing? Thanks!

Fantastic Idea
As Triumph Boats are new to Australia, we would love a DVD explaining general maintenance on Triumph Boats, I would include a DVD with every purchase of a Triumph Boat, to help my customers with there new purchase,
please let me know when it is finished and how to order

I'll do the 'Fancy Work' lol!
